The Sun Inn Great Easton

Country Pub and Restaurant Rutland

A noteworthy pub outside Market Harborough.

I first went to the Sun Inn a while ago, well known for its lively sports bar feel, private dining rooms and large sun deck weather permitting.

It is situated in the very pretty and unusual village of Great Easton, signature sandstone houses make it worth a visit on its own.

One of four village pubs in the wider area it has undergone a make over but it is the cooking talent behind the scenes, head chef James, assisted by Kozmun in the kitchen that keep the customers coming back, and the community spirit of all local sourced food and leftovers on a budget rustled up by 5 star talent during the week keep seats and tummy’s full when other less energetic and innovative businesses flounder.

The heart of this place is kept beating by the passionate and unique team that run it, a home from home oasis where even visiting for the first time they make you feel like you’ve been before.

The Sunday roast is by far the best for miles around for me, all the usual suspects to choose from, beef, lamb, pork, beef incredible giant airy crispy Yorkshire puddings and I’d even suggest you give the plant based roast a go the rich colour and glaze and flavour in the gravy would make anyone question how it is possible with no meat whatsoever.
